the Thistle was leading the racers. Seeing
this, Captain Barr hauled his boom on
board in the effort 10 keep the cutter back
but somehow she persistently forged ahead
until, by repeatedly emptying her sails,
Barr managed to pull her in. Finally,
however, the cutter swung around, jibing
her boom to port, and turned away in
shore to get out of the way. The weather

At quarter of ~ there was mild sort

and the Mayhower appeared to have the

had small boat in tow, and was on the
same tack, but appeared to be leading very
easily. She had much less sail up than
the others, and still sailed faster. She was
evidently out to get some idea of her
chances, and did not try to hurry. The
wind was then six miles an hour and

ing To Chicago S15, to Cincinnati S13,
to st. Louis $1S, to Kansas City $21, which

than regular rates to intermediate points,
with reduction to Colorado and California
points. A dispatch was received from Gin
cinnati that the New York Central had be-
gun to-day to sell round-trip tickets to this
city from that place. A very interesting
feature of the war in town to-day is the
fight between brokers and agents of the
railroad companies to get ahead of each
other in buying up return tickets. The
brokers say that they can sell return tickets
to the railroad companies at higher rates
than they are getting for them from their
customers.

courtesy. To-day he was taken before Su-
